  130wpm Gregg Shorthand Dictation - Introduction to Gregg

  This is a short (2 minute) dictation of the introductory paragraph of the shorthand website "gregg.angelfishy.net". It talks a little bit about the history of the Gregg writing system-- the one that I am using in this dictation. Writing at this speed for me is pushing my abilities, and you can see later in the dictation it takes its toll and I make several errors.

  Handywrite Shorthand Dictation at 40 WPM

  -Handywrite Shorthand Dictation at 40 WPM- This is a shorthand dictation written at 40 words per minute. I'm (somewhat) using a method of shorthand called Handywrite, which is a light-line system that is very similar to Gregg. Note to other Handywrite users: I've made up many of my own "briefs" and abbreviations, and am also probably not using the correct vowels--I often am confused with the system of vowels used in Handywrite. I've been learning and practicing for about one or two months, and have reached this speed of 40-60 words per minute. I apologize for possible unclarities with the video, as I am only using the iSight camera that came along with my MacBook. **Also note that I there are many errors because of the odd angle of my writing with the camera. Thank you for watching my video, and feel free to comment or post responses of you writing any method of shorthand! -Brian Further links having to do with Shorthand and this video: www.en.wikipedia.org - The Wikipedia article on Shorthand. Please visit this link if you are not aware of what this type of writing is (to avoid comments such as "What language is this?" or "That looks like scribbles.") www.stenospeed.com - The site wherefrom I got the dictation used in the video. http - The website of Handywrite, the method of shorthand which I'm learning.

  Pitman Shorthand, part 1 of 3 (Revised)

  GO TO PART 2: www.youtube.com GO TO PART 3: www.youtube.com WEB SITE: pitmanshorthand.homestead.com I made an unpolished little video to illustrate some basics of Pitman shorthand, a system of rapid writing which can even be done at the speed of speech with practice. At the time, I couldn't find anything else on YouTube, but here are two new videos by others A woman writes a religious text in Pitman Shorthand, though it is mostly vowel-less: www.youtube.com A man writes a text in Spanish Pitman. Abbreviations are different, of course, assigned to common Spanish words, but the consonants are all the same: www.youtube.com (More links to Pitman and other shorthand sites can be found by clicking the "Books and Links" button on my web site.) Also good is this guy's site, heavy in diagrams explaining the Pitman strokes: www.shorthand.mkz.com ("Pitman for Geeks") Pitman Shorthand was actually used to represent the written language of the Vogons, the bureaucratic and ugly aliens in the movie version of the science-fiction comedy books, THE HITCH-HIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY (2005). Those fortunate enough to know Pitman will recognize phrases in the movie like "Presidential Release Form", "Demolition Order", "Information Deleted" and a Vogon poster saying "Depressed? Try Destruction Therapy!" www.onrec.com For the Gregg shorthand system, go to: www.shorthandshorthandshorthand.com http MUSIC: Music is from "Transfer Orbit" which is my own composition.

  Handywrite Shorthand Dictation at 100 WPM

  -Handywrite Shorthand Dictation at 100 WPM- This is a shorthand dictation written at 100 words per minute. This is a bit of a stretch for my speed, but I work to continually improve my abilities with shorthand. I'm (somewhat) using a method of shorthand called Handywrite, which is a light-line system that is very similar to Gregg. Note to other Handywrite users: I've made up many of my own "briefs" and abbreviations, and am also probably not using the correct vowels. I've been learning and practicing for about two or three months, and have reached this speed of 80-100 words per minute. I apologize for possible unclarities with the video, as I am only using the iSight camera that came along with my MacBook. **I'm sorry that it is backwards: I tried to write at the normal angle, and then use a mirror video effect; however, this made the video lag, and therefore not worthy of upload. Thank you for watching my video, and feel free to comment or post responses of you writing any method of shorthand! -Brian Further links having to do with Shorthand and this video: www.en.wikipedia.org - The Wikipedia article on Shorthand.
